26.30 - Wrap & Emboss tool is here

Bring complex textures to life with the new Wrap & Emboss tool, alongside more intuitive section viewing and significantly faster project imports.

  • New: Add embossed details to your designs with the Wrap & Emboss tool by wrapping sketches around cylindrical and conical surfaces.

  • New: Now you can toggle Ortho View in Section View to automatically display the cross-section and visible edges behind it, while hiding sketches, images, and hidden geometry.

  • New: Saved Views now preserve your section view settings. When you save a view while in Section mode, returning to that view restores both the camera angle and section state.

  • New: Capture screenshots faster with the new Screenshot tool button in your workspace.

  • New: Advanced import preferences can now be enabled for faster processing of STEP, IGES, CATIA Part, SolidWorks Part, and Solid Edge Part files.

    Choose between Speed, Quality, and Custom modes. Speed can import large files up to 70% quicker and files that previously failed due to memory limitations may now import successfully. Quality maintains full fidelity. Custom lets you adjust key settings and try importing problematic files that previously failed or crashed.

  • Improved: The Project tool now features a refreshed icon for better clarity.

Try these new tools and let us know how they fit into your workflow in the comments below. :down_arrow:

Eagerly waiting for this one to become available to download on the app store! I don’t know how to exploit it yet, but I can already think of a few projects I want to give a try with wrapping stuff around curves.

I love it! Thanks, Shapr team! I hope you’ll expand it to more organic surfaces instead of just cones and cylinders.

Not sure if this is the place to submit bug reports??? But there seems to be a weirdness in sketch mode for the latest version. This has hapend a 5-7 times to me since updating.

Hi, to get assistance, please submit a support request on this link and include your hardware and software information (exact device type, OS version). Thank you!

The Saved Views has great potential. Thank you!

But shouldn’t they also save mode (Sketch/3D) and visibility (show/hide) for each body and sketch??

And maybe also isolate state.

Maybe even allow users to chose what to save? And name them (for big projects with more users)

I’d also like to suggest you give us a “one click” option. Either buttons next to or instead of the XYZ cube or dynamically in the normal button row, if there is space. So not in Sketch mode on iPad. Add a “star” to each in the list, so we can favourite the ones to show as buttons.

Last thing. I’d like to see a way for the view/app box to automatically disappear when you select a view. Just like it does, when saving one. The bar/button is plenty wide allow “view” to the left and “view+close” to the right.
